| To Valuable Harvest Workers |
|

9:37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 9:38 pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
Have you ever heard of the 80-20 rule? It's where 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people. When Jesus said that the harvest is great, but the workers are few, he was describing the labor intensive work that churches are involved in. Church work never seems to end. There is always the need for someone else to help. What often happens is that the most dedicated people, who do the 80%, get burned out. Some leave their church because they are just tired and we all suffer because of their loss. If you are one of the 80% that does very little work for your church, would you take a moment to consider doing just one small task to help? If you are one of the 20% who is burning out from overwork, would you take a moment to consider just doing one less task? Your absence due to exhaustion would be a great loss for us all. |
